To get to the Silver level you have to have earned more than $500 dollars with CashCrate or referred more than 50 active members. That isn’t too easy to do but this new PayPal option is great incentive for people to spend more time seriously trying to make money and/or make referrals.

I’ve had a lot of success with their referral program and getting paid via PayPal will mean I won’t have to wait as long to get paid if I choose that option.

Another site that paid with PayPal is SquishyCash. I haven’t had the same level of success with them as I have with CashCrate but I do know that I always get my payments from them right on time in my PayPal account when I make more than $20.00.

I have been earning money from both CashCrate and SquishyCash for years now and I recommend them both. They are both online survey for money sites that I know will pay me every month.

And now it just got easier to understand as they have added an extensive “How To Guide”

Sign up to CashCrate and start out by going to the drop done menus at the top. As the picture below shows you, hover your mouse over your name and a drop down will appear. In the middle of that menu is the link to the “How To” guide.

Now it is easier than ever to make money with CashCrate as the tools to learn how are right there for you.

Need proof that it is all legit?

Here is another one of my recent checks from 2012:

I’ve been posting posting videos of my checks and pictures of my checks for many months as proof but I never realized that since they came online in 2006, CachCrate members have taken home close to 4 million dollars. (See my CashCrate check proof)

The screen print above is from the payment wall where over 1000 checks have been posted as different members receive them. With CashCrate, you don’t have to wonder whether they are a scam or whether you will get paid because the evidence is overwhelming that they are one of the best online surveys for money websites.

This month there are several promotions: March 17th is the St. Patrick’s Day event where you will earn and additional 10% on all daily surveys and cash offers. Then on March 20th is the CashCrate Live contest which has become a monthly event where you can earn Amazon gift cards as well as money deposited right into your CashCrate account for participating. It’s a great time to sign up and get your share of the money!

For anyone that wants to earn money doing offers and surveys online, this “live” contest is a great place to get started as you can earn extra money. This month it takes place on January 23, 2012 during the hours of 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM Eastern Time Zone in America.

If you miss this month’s contest, there will undoubtedly be one in February as these have been going on every month now for awhile with great success. CashCrate continues to show that it is one of the premier survey and offer websites out there and it is in my opinion, the first place to get started if you want to make some extra money every month. The checks I get from them come regularly in the mail and I’m sure that will continue as they are extremely reliable.

Dana’s stats show that since the middle of 2006 he has made over 21,000 posts on the CashCrate forum as their super moderator! That is more than 10 posts a day for more than FIVE YEARS!

His official title is now “Administrator” which is surely a promotion over forum “Moderator”. I think the owner of CashCrate has wisely moved Dana up the ladder after his many years of tirelessly working the forum boards answering every question and/or pointing people in the right direction so that answers can be found.

Dana is what makes CashCrate better than every other online surveys for money site out there. He is a real person that will help you with your questions or problem. Once you join CashCrate and the forum, you don’t have to worry about your questions and PM’s going into some black hole and never getting answered. If you need help, either CashCrate Dana (or CashCrate Wendy) will take care of you and answer your questions just like they have done for so many years. CashCrate is a real place with real people behind it and you can be sure you will always get paid your money too.

The prizes you see above are the big prizes but they will give Amazon.com gift cards to all the other participants who make it into the top 50 spots. You don’t need to register for this contest as everyone who signs up with CashCrate is AUTOMATICALLY  ENTERED.

If you have any doubts about whether this is all real, please see my CashCrate check proof page to see some of the checks I have gotten. This is an amazing paid online survey site with over 1.5 million members and they ALWAYS pay on time EVERY month. There is lots of help in their forum and several getting started video tutorials to help you understand how everything works.

There are a ton of surveys for money websites out there and some are better than others. If you are looking into doing surveys and offers, why not go with one of the ones that has the best track record? CashCrate has well over a million members and they pay right on time every month. You can go into the forum and read the “Payment” thread to prove that to yourself.

I got started making money way back in 2007 on CashCrate. Their check was the first check I ever got from any online website. It was a real check that I took to my bank and cashed just like I do today. For more proof of how legit they are, poke around my blog and you will see videos and pictures of some of my latest checks.

CashCrate is NOT a job but it is one of the few online surveys for money sites that allows people under 18 to sign up. With your parent’s permission, anyone over 13 and can sign up and start making some extra cash.

Lots of teenagers have signed up to CashCrate and make anywhere from $20 to $100 a month doing the surveys, offers, and referring others. If you can learn how to refer others to the site, you can make even more than that. Starting a blog (like this one) is the best way to refer people although there are lots of other things you can do if you think creatively.

CashCrate isn’t the only survey site out there but it is one of the most popular and reliable. After about 4 years with them, they have never missed sending me my monthly check and now I even get one every week. I have the proof to show that they pay real money to their members so take a look at that.

Student jobs in 2011 aren’t going to get any easier to find but that doesn’t mean you should give up looking. Always keep a positive attitude and keep applying for real jobs. On the side you can try things like CashCrate to make a little extra money and if you are good with computers you might even start your own blog and try to get some referrals to sign up under you.

I started 4 years ago knowing nothing about making money online and having never made a penny. Now I’m getting big checks from CashCrate and I am very thankful that I never gave up even when I wasn’t making much.

New promotions are continually in the works with CashCrate as they will have their 3rd LIVE event where the top 10 people who complete the most offers in a 4 hour period win additional cash prizes. The next live event happens tomorrow May 10th!

A new way to make money has just been added and that is by watching videos. Combine that with all the other things you can do on CashCrate and you have a great place to get started making money online.

If you are looking for the best surveys for money site to start either doing offers or getting referrals, CashCrate is the best choice in my opinion because they have a good, easy to understand interface and you know you will get paid.
